Indeed. Quite a few American friends now use BBC World News for their news, yeah it may be a bit biased, left or right depending on your view, but it's way of funding does make it unique compared to the various US news stations, although PBS is OK

Gambia have now hit the woodwork twice

I'm glad the Bills played as well as they did - they were incredible, and against probably one of the best defenses Belichick has ever assembled. Pats were well and truly humbled

It was a historic night for the Bills. They became the first team in the Super Bowl era to score a touchdown on each of their first seven drives of a playoff game, Josh Allen with 5 TD passes. Might have to support them, they are after all the only true New York Football team

Lots of speculation already. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/giants/2022/01/11/giants-head-coach-candidates-joe-judge-fired/9179623002/

Hope they do another series of "What we do in the shadows" - one of the best TV shows in a while

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know" "We're in a mess. Rush to Freedonia! Three men and one woman are trapped in a building! Send help at once! If you can't send help, send two more women!” "I don't like the second party either. Well you...

Always like Private Eye's nickname for him, the Bouncing Czech, seemed rather apt

How the Jets and the Giants became the laughing stock of the NFL https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/dec/29/new-york-giants-jets-football-worst-futility Not sure why it took the Guardian so long, the fans have known this for ages !

It makes you wonder sometimes if such a scenario is that far off. Live PL football in the States is becoming huge business with football fans able to see all PL games live including the 3pm KO games which cannot currently be seen in the UK. NBC reportedly paid $2.7 B for the next 6 years rights...

Agreed, it is brilliant. Just caught up with the first series. Very similar to Sherlock with a mix of science and detective work, but better IMO with more likeable characters. The final episode about the mysterious death at the military academy with all its rituals and code of honour was a...
